Doc Martin TV star Martin Clunes has been spotted filming in Westbury.

He was caught filming with fellow actor James Buckley on Thursday, August 29 at the popular White Horse monument.

It is understood they were filming scenes for Mother’s Pride, described as “a comedy drama about a failing pub”.

The comedy drama plot revolves around a divided community and a grieving family whose lives are changed by brewing real ale and entering the Great British Beer Awards.

Keen photographer Barbara Swan, 56, from The Butts, in Westbury, caught Mr Clunes after visiting the beauty spot with her brother Alan Swan, 66.

She said: “Look who was filming today, met him near the White Horse. We just caught him before he drove off in a car and Alan asked if he would pose for a photograph.

“Alan took a picture of me standing next to Martin. He was very nice.”

The pair had gone up to the White Horse to photograph paragliders and were just about to leave when they spotted Mr Clunes.

Barbara added: “We went up there to photograph paragliders but two had just landed.

“We were just about to leave when Alan spotted the film crew’s vans so we hung around to see what was happening.

“We then spotted Martin Clunes leaving a van and head towards the toilet facility.

“We waited for him and then Alan asked if he would pose for a photograph with me and that is how it came about.”

After Alan had taken the photograph, Mr Clunes was photographed by another bystander using a mobile phone and then drove off.

The Mother’s Pride crews were also spotted filming close to Westbury Railway Station.

Martin Clunes is best known for his roles in Doc Martin and Men Behaving Badly, while James Buckley found fame playing Jay in The Inbetweeners.

The pair have also been spotted filming in Bristol city centre.

Mother’s Pride is directed by Nick Moorcroft, and written by Moorcroft and Meg Leonard.

The writers’ previous credits include Finding Your Feet and Fisherman’s Friends.
